In a statement to Tadawul, the company said the subsidiaries include SADAFCO Kuwait Foodstuff Co. W.L.L., in which it owns a 49% stake with a capital of SAR 662,950; SADAFCO Jordan for Food Products W.L.L., which is wholly owned with a capital of SAR 1.33 million; and SADAFCO Bahrain W.L.L., which is wholly owned with a capital of SAR 500,000.
